text:
Catholic means that the the Church encompasses many cultures, languages, styles and tastes. What it has never meant is that it allows for any leeway in matters concerning theology and morality. These issues were essentially hammered out in the first centuries of Christianity and to this day are essentially the same. Even back then no personal revelation, no matter how beautiful and touching, could go beyond what was already stated in the Scripture. If anyone should wonder why the Church as an institution is able to survive over two millennia, that person should bear this fact in mind.
Therefore the Church cannot be divided into "liberal" and "conservative" wings, the way we do in politics. Not when we're talking about morality or theology. I'm pretty sure there were no differences between the two popes with regard to premarital sex, contraceptives or the ordination of women. The first two matters are moral and theological, the last is theological. In other respects they might have been quite different, just like the last three popes in the living memory of most people are in various respects different. But much more importantly they are servants of the same God.
While I suspect we're coming at the issue from very different perspectives, I tend to agree with your view that there might not have been very much difference between the positions of the two new saints on a whole range of moral/theological issues- the key difference in terms of perception is that John XXIII wasn't pressed by commentators external to the church about his views on (say) contraception to the extent that John Paul II was and they didn't come to define his papacy. To put it another way, I doubt if John XXIII would be viewed in quite the positive light he is (not least by opinion formers with at best a tenuous link to the Catholic Church) if he'd been in charge in the 1980's/1990's.
John XXIII did actually write an encyclical on Christianity and Social Progress in 1961, which allows us to compare the views or encyclicals of both pontiffs on the same subjects, e.g. contraceptives. But that's exactly it, accepted views were so different back then. John XXIII could hardly have been criticised for the Church's stance on homosexuality if it was still officially illegal in so many of today's non-Catholic secular states. Paradoxically, I don't think it was ever illegal in traditionally Catholic Poland.
"Therefore the Church cannot be divided into "liberal" and "conservative" wings, the way we do in politics. Not when we're talking about morality or theology. I'm pretty sure there were no differences between the two popes with regard to premarital sex, contraceptives or the ordination of women"
Your comment is both ideologically Catholic and naive. I care not one whit for theological cant, dogma and propaganda.
Use whatever labels you wish. Fine, "liberal" and "conservative" are inappropriate. Then let us use the correct terms: pro-Fascist and anti-Fascist. Pope John XXIII was determined to purge the church of its pro-Fascist elements - who had thrived under Pius XII. That was the core message of the Conclave of 1958. (http://www.rinodistefano.com/it/articoli/gregorio-xvii.php)
Wojtyla may have been anti-Nazi, but he was pro-Fascist, as was seen in his support for the beatification of Croatian Archbishop Alojzije Stepinac:

The law firm Effekt eliminated nonessential administrative processes. Now they are ready to take advantage of the time and cost savings they've gained and concentrate on essentials.
As a newly established law firm, how do we make sure that we are able to adjust IT costs and capacity as our business evolves—making it easier to establish the business today and grow it tomorrow? And which IT system can give us this flexibility and ensure that the specific requirements of the legal profession are effectively met, so we can eliminate nonessential processes and streamline case workflow?
These questions were top of mind when the full-service law firm Effekt went looking for an IT solution.
Effekt chose a cloud-based, industry-specific solution for lawyers consisting of Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013, Legal365 (Navokat), and Office 365. The three solutions are tightly integrated and together provide a complete overview of everything from financial management to time-saving journaling direct from Microsoft Outlook. Legal365, which contains specific law firm–related work processes, is built on Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013. Information on specific cases—everything from correspondence and templates to financial information and contacts—can be easily found from both Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 and Outlook via a special function in Outlook. This enables Effekt to journal, record time, create and convert Word-based letter temples to PDF, and create quotations, all with just a few clicks directly from Outlook. The complete solution is operated and hosted in one place: Abakion, which is a total IT consulting partner.
The solution satisfied Effekt's need to implement a complete IT infrastructure quickly, so the firm could focus on its essential work. The firm also appreciates the flexibility it has to adapt the solution to new processes in the future.
Ready-to-run solution
"We have a complete, ready-to-run solution that we can start using quickly, and which is targeted to the needs of a law firm like ours," says Lindhardt. The law firm tested the solution a few days before they went live. "The test confirmed our positive expectations that we have more time for the essentials and therefore faster processing. I look forward to streamlining our case management 360 degrees around our needs," Lindhardt adds.
Saves administrative employees
Effekt expects to realize significant benefits through the solution's automated workflows that simplify administrative processes and enable the four lawyers to handle all the administration themselves. In the short term, this will eliminate the need to hire an administrative assistant. "Going forward, we will be able to handle everything ourselves," Lindhardt enthuses. "From financial management, time tracking and document management, to filing. Without this solution, our administrative tasks would require hiring a full-time administrative assistant."
Filing directly from Outlook
In the future, archiving files and documents in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 will take place directly from Outlook instead of manual handling. Lindhardt explains, "With just one click in Outlook, the automated workflow takes care of everything. The files are automatically placed in their proper directories and under the proper case number. It will save us so much time. Plus, it will be so easy to retrieve documents."
About the user experience, Lindhart says, "The Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 solution and Legal365 and Office 365 are pure plug-and-play so it's easy to get started. And it's also smart—everything is done in a single system, and all the tools are familiar because they are similar to Office programs."
Up and running from day one
There are two reasons why the Effekt law firm wanted to implement a cloud-based business solution to streamline administrative processes. First, they want to have access to an effective and targeted IT toolkit that makes it easy to get started. And second, they have plans to eventually grow their business.
Explains Lindhardt, "By selecting a cloud-based solution, we have a complete, ready-to-run IT environment from day one. This ensures that we are up and running fast, without us having to think about anything related to IT. A cloud-based solution fits like a glove with our desire to simplify and streamline."
Value-adding flexibility
The flexibility of Microsoft's cloud platform is also central to Effekt's future growth plans. The plan is to employ 20 lawyers. "By placing all our IT in the cloud, we can adjust for users and capacity," Lindhardt says. "So when we have to we can just add new users. This flexibility is of immense value to a dynamic start-up company like ours. We are not locked into a system, and can easily adjust the system to meet our needs."
He adds, "Compared to the value that the solution creates, I don't hesitate to call the investment reasonable and absolutely acceptable. I look forward to realizing the anticipated benefits of the new Azure-based Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 industry solution for attorneys."

A controllable and reproducible bipolar memristive protein nanodevice is fabricated by chemical immobilization of ferritin molecules within on-wire lithography-generated nanogaps. Control experiments suggest that programmable resistive switching is due to the electrochemical processes in the active centre of ferritin. Such ferritin-based nanodevices with reversible resistance can be used for nonvolatile memory based on write-read-erase cycles.

Bruce, Bill James made me love Phelps also, but c'mon, they already had Don Mattingly and Jack Clark, it was never gonna work.
this year marks the 25th anniversary of the debut of Seinfeld, arguably the most successful sitcom in the history of American television. This month (August) also marks the 60th birthday of Ken Phelps, one of the poster children for Bill James' Sabermetric movement of the 1980s…
Phelps had had drawn the Yankees' interest since 1985, when Billy Martin had instructed the front office to do whatever it took to get him. Three years later, Phelps finally arrived, too late for Martin but just in time for new manager Lou Piniella. Here was the plan. Phelps would DH against right-handers, allowing the Yankees to alternate days off for Jack Clark, who was 32 years old, and Dave Winfield, who was 36. To make the trade even more favorable for New York, scouts had their doubts about Buhner, the primary ingredient the Yankees sent to the Mariners. Buhner, a onetime prospect with the Pirates, had several holes in his uppercut swing, struck out at an alarming rate, and appeared ill-suited for Death Valley at the old Yankee Stadium.
So on all fronts, trading Buhner for Phelps made me happy. Unfortunately, Piniella, who was early in his career as a field boss, couldn't figure out how to get Phelps into the lineup more regularly. (In fairness to Piniella, the injury-prone Clark complained about having to move back to the outfield to make room for Phelps, making life more difficult for Sweet Lou.) ...
Although Phelps' Yankee career will never amount to a Yankeeography, he is far from forgotten. Quite the contrary, he has become a popular culture icon, thanks to the efforts of Jerry Seinfeld, George Costanza, and the mythical George Steinbrenner (voiced by the brilliant Larry David)... Much like Larry David did in voicing the role of George Steinbrenner, I found myself saying "Ken Phelps, Ken Phelps" a lot in 1988, to the point that his name became an obsession with me. I thought he would become the next big thing in New York. It never happened. But I understood where George Steinbrenner was coming from. And if you were a Mariners fan in the mid-1980s, you probably did, too.

Video Interview: Joe Dante on The Necessity of Horror
Comic-Con By Jack Giroux on July 30, 2010 | Comments (2)Joe Dante was recently at Comic-Con and as for what he was promoting, I have no idea. As far as I know, he wasn't there to sell or pitch me anything. Both him and Roger Corman were in attendance this year, and amongst the hardcore geek community, it was a big deal. Dante is someone that's had a hand in nearly every movie nerd's life. I think we all remember watching Gremlins as a kid (or Innerspace, The 'burbs, The Howling, etc.) So, when I sat down with Joe Dante, I wanted to talk about his life, the films that influenced him, and the joy of horror.

If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy. James Madison I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations. It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood. No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare. |

Why do most of us realize the reasoning and validity of there words, but our elected officials don't?

We do elect the people representing us. Sometimes I wonder how some people can elect someone who thinks so differently from me. On the other hand, I'm sure there are people that wonder how someone can elect someone so different from them. mweel, " or do they change once they get in office and get a taste of power?

There's pain, and then there's pain. Getting stung by a bee hurts. Having a Doberman sink his teeth into your thigh is a more intense experience. By the same token, there are sanctions, and then there are sanctions. For years, the sanctions imposed on Iran were an irritation, a not-entirely-convincing message to the regime that one of these days. . . . Now, however, new and tougher sanctions are being imposed on Iran — and they are beginning to bite.
The rial has lost 50 percent of its value since December. Inflation is running over 20 percent, with some unofficial estimates pegging it at twice that amount. Iran's rulers have forfeited more than $60 billion in energy investment and $14 billion in annual oil sales, while hundreds of billions of dollars in potential sales of Iranian natural gas have been prevented. Crude-oil production is falling, and Iran's central bank is finding it difficult to receive payments for the oil it does export. The regime is paying more to import gasoline and has had to slash subsidies as a result, reminding Iranians that they don't have the means to refine their own oil into gasoline — thanks to their rulers' perverse priorities.
And no one should pretend there isn't justice in that. Finally, we are making the theocratic clique that rules Iran pay at least a minimal price for being the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism; for facilitating the killings of hundreds of American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, and in Saudi Arabia and Beirut before that; for assassinating Iranian expatriates in Europe and plotting to blow up a restaurant in Washington, D.C.; for illegally developing nuclear weapons; for both inciting and threatening genocide; and for killing, raping, imprisoning, and otherwise egregiously violating the human rights of the Iranian people.
Regarding that last indictment, two examples out of hundreds that could be cited: (1) Yousef Nadarkhani is in prison and facing the death penalty. What did he do to deserve that? He converted to Christianity. (2) Iran's Supreme Court recently confirmed the death sentence of Saeed Malekpour, an Iranian-born Canadian permanent resident. Of what was he convicted? "Crimes against Islam" and "spreading corruption on Earth."
Decent people do not wear "blood diamonds." Why is it more defensible to pump "blood oil" into your Volvo? A loophole in American law allows for gasoline imported into the U.S. to be made from Iranian crude. Congress can and should end this practice by making the U.S. an "Iranian-oil-free zone." New sanctions measures, targeting Iran's national oil company, its oil-tanker fleet, and its access to the global electronic financial system are being considered on the Hill this week.
If sanctions achieve nothing more than to make clear that civilized people do not do business as usual with tyrants and, in particular, with storm troopers — a fair description of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which owns many of the country's major industries and businesses — they are worth the effort.

.- Archbishop Fernando Saenz Lacalle exhorted the country's government and population not to give in to supposed threats by terrorist groups that seek to destabilize the country.
"To be frightened and change our attitude about plans in the face of terrorist warnings, whether they are true or false, signifies a serious weakening in the rule of law," said Archbishop Saenz.
The archbishop called on all international governments and organizations to discover and control terrorists so they will no longer "keep humanity in suspense."
At least three Islamic organizations linked to Al Qaeda have threatened to launch attacks on El Salvador if the country continues to maintain its contingent of military forces in Iraq, and they demanded the country reverse the decision to send a third contingent to the country.
Since last March 380 Salvadoran troops are in Iraq working on humanitarian projects.
The Archbishop of San Salvador offered his support to the soldiers and called on the country to "pray much for our fellow countrymen, because to go in these circumstances is heroic."

Kidnap suspect to appear in court
Saturday, October 13, 2007
Craig One of four suspects accused of felony criminal charges stemming from an alleged kidnapping and assault of a 27-year-old Craig woman is scheduled to appear in court next week.
Megan Crook, 21, also known as Megan Valenzuala, will appear for a status conference Oct. 16, court officials said. Court appearances for her alleged accomplices, James Barry, 31, Steven Casias, 30, and Ramona Brassard, 33, have yet to be scheduled, a court clerk said.
The four defendants face the same eight felony charges: criminal attempt to commit second-degree murder, second-degree kidnapping, conspiracy to commit second-degree kidnapping, second-degree assault, conspiracy to commit second-degree assault, robbery, criminal extortion and menacing.
They also face one count of third-degree assault, a misdemeanor.
A criminal complaint indicates the incident occurred in September.
The suspects allegedly used a deadly weapon - an unknown ligature device - to harm the woman, attempted to cause her death, threatened her with a metal bar and took her from one place to another without her consent, according to the criminal complaint.
They also robbed her of a bracelet, personal papers, makeup, keys, clothing, black-framed sunglasses and a marriage license by "the use of force, threats or intimidation," the complaint indicates.
None of the four suspects have a criminal record in Routt County, according to a court clerk. Neither Brassard nor Casias have been convicted or face other charges in Moffat County.
Barry has two other cases pending in Moffat County. He faces at least three misdemeanor assault charges, obstructing a peace officer and driving under restraint.
Crook/Valenzuala has a previous felony conviction in Moffat County for tampering with a motor vehicle, and another case is pending. She faces possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a schedule 2 controlled substance charges in the second case.
The criminal complaint cites a list of 14 potential witnesses, including investigators from the Moffat County Sheriff's Office, 14th Judicial District Attorney's Office and the Craig Police Department.

To get you started on your research, here's a rundown of the most popular PDAs on the market:
- Apple: The MessagePad 120 with a Newton 2.0 operating system is an organizer, minicomputer, and electronic notepad you write on with a special telescoping pen. This latest version has more features than its predecessor, including a date book, more storage, a fax-send feature, fax-receive onto the message-pad screen so you can read it, e-mail exchange through the Internet, and a vastly improved handwriting recognition function.
The $699 MessagePad 120 includes a telephone log, calendar and calculator, plus daily, weekly and monthly planners. Its Rolodex is presented in business-card format. It also includes Pocket Quicken software, which puts information about your cash, checking, savings and credit-card accounts at your fingertips.
You can hook the MessagePad 120 up to most bubble-jet and laser printers via an optional accessory, back up data onto your office desktop for safekeeping, and send messages to someone's pager. An optional add-on notebook-sized keyboard costs $89.
- Casio: While most people associate Casio with low-end pocket calculators and organizers, Casio's Z-7000 is a $599 pen-based PDA that is able to translate handwriting into text. The Z-7000 also organizes your date book, to-do lists, addresses and notes. It calculates; communicates with American Online (with the help of your modem); and has a dictionary, spelling checker, clock and reference sources. This PDA will also manage your expense reports and balance and summarize your bank accounts.
One of the Z-7000's strengths is its variety of accessories, such as the Z-125 PalmConnect, at $129, which links to your PC for data entry, transfer and backup.
- Motorola: This company is a relative newcomer to the PDA market, but its products, the Marco and Envoy, are becoming extremely popular. Both models have infrared receivers and rotating antennas for wireless communication. You can also send, receive and fax information through Motorola's integrated wireless modems. However, you must subscribe to RadioMail and ARDIS, the wireless data services through which the Marco and Envoy PDAs communicate.
Envoy is aimed at the mobile businessperson who wants wireless messaging, faxing, airline flight information and personal expense management. The $1,000 Envoy integrates e-mail, fax, telephone and paging abilities, and has all the bells and whistles of most pocket organizers, plus two slots for PCMCIA cards to add memory for more data or using other software applications.
Motorola's Marco pen-based notepad uses Newton technology and is best suited for users who frequently need to download databases on the road. With features similar to the Envoy, the $900 Marco is slightly less powerful, has just one PCMCIA slot, and has user interfaces that depend heavily on Newton applications.
- Psion: A worldwide leader in the mobile and hand-held computing industry, this company calls its Series 3a models "palmtops," but the $595 1MB and the $695 2MB fit into the PDA category.
Both models have multitask operating systems, weigh just under 10 ounces, have relatively large keyboards and are wider than most PDAs. You can send and receive faxes, manage your to-do list, translate words into several languages and find out the time around the world; a password protection feature keeps your data confidential. A computer connecting kit for advanced applications is available for $120.
- Sharp: This company's pocket-sized Wizard products have been consistently popular for the past seven years. But with businesspeople wanting more from their small organizers than just Rolodexes and calculators, Sharp developed two new models. The $599 Zaurus is a high-performance electronic notebook with a pen and keyboard. The $499 Wizard OZ-6500 is more similar to a PIM but has many PDA capabilities, including faxing. Add $100 to the base price of each for fax capabilities (sending but not receiving).
The Zaurus boasts a large easy-to-read screen and has an infrared port for wireless communication. Files can be uploaded or downloaded from other software, and, using optional mail software, users can send or receive e-mail messages using a Windows-based PC as an electronic post office.
Sharp's OZ-6500 features 512K memory and can display up to 40 characters on 14 lines. In addition to the organizing functions, calculator and time clocks, you can hook up the OZ-6500 to an online service or to your PC to exchange data. Well-suited for first-time PDA users, its on-screen instructions and graphics are large and easy to understand.
- Texas Instruments: Although this company refers to its low-priced PS-6700 and PS-6800 models as personal organizers, both have moved into the PDA market by virtue of a docking kit with Windows software that enables them to connect to a PC and exchange information.
The PS-6700 and PS-6800 are identical in styling and function; the only difference is the amount of their memory. The $69 PS-6700 has 64KB of storage; the $89 PS-6800 has 128KB. Both have keyboards but no electronic notepad.
Both models can store thousands of reminders, addresses, notes and secret data. Features include an audio alarm, dates and times for five world cities, a 100-year monthly calendar and password protection.

Long story short: I live near Springhill Nursery and every spring at this time they clearance all their excess catalog plants for 99 center per.... I picked up a bare root rose "Mint Julep" and wondered if anyone can give me a zone hardiness...i.e. not what the books say, but the farthest north you've had success with. I looked, and it seems like this one might be a warmer liking one, although some people online had planted it (with no comment on winterhardiness) in zone 5.
Thanks! |

No one has mint julep???? |
Michigoose, I'm sorry to inform you that 'Mint Julep' is kind of a connoisseur's rose -- ie, a rose for folks who don't mind lavishing extraordinary amounts of care and constant frustration for very little return, reward, satisfaction . . . Perhaps it's their gardeners who do the lavishing, I don't know . . . |
- Posted by mgleason56 Michigan 5b (My Page) on Tue, Jun 30, 09 at 10:24
It survives winter for me, but just barely. I only get a few blooms each year, but the color is pretty cool. Roses Unlimited also sells. |
I have it here in California. That won't help you in "hardiness zones," but I can tell you that it's not worth coddling. UGLY rose. (Yes, there is such a thing.) Kathy |
- Posted by mgleason56 Michigan 5b (My Page) on Tue, Jun 30, 09 at 13:24
Kathy, Kathy, Kathy, how wrong you can be at times! Just as is beauty, ugly is also in the eye of the beholder. I might have to not be your friend unless you take this back. Seriously, I think the blooms are cool, but I've seen pictures with a nasty gray tint that did indeed look UGLY. |
Maybe we can get the powers that be to start an "ugliest rose" category in the next rose show. Not taking it back. It's blooming right now here, and I just went out and confirmed my opinion. Wish I could find my camera . . . Grey and also spotted -- gets the rose award for most botrytis blight in my yard. K |

I grew it in central Fl. for several years. It didn't like the hot, humid summers but during the spring and fall I thought it was a nice rose. But I mess around in my garden all the time so I guess you can say all my roses get a little extra care. If you're not sure about it, put it in a 10 or 15 gal pot and give it a little extra care. You'll know by the end of next summer. Thank you for reminding me about this rose. Next spring I have got the perfect place here at my new home for a couple. |
For those of you longing to coddle something -- you can get it here -- Cottage Farms Direct -- quite cheap. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Mint Julep for sale
K, WOW!!! That's about the most color-enhanced photo I've ever beheld -- anywhere!!! Better even than some of Wayside Gardens' pics! Also, I have to complement you on standing your ground regarding Mint Julep . . . I'm another beholder whose eye tells me that Mint Julep is one very, very YOU-glee rose!!! It's curious indeed that certain novelty roses persist in commerce: Roses like Mint Julep, Julia's Rose, Grey Pearl, Irish Creme, and (regardless of protests to the contrary) Sterling Silver -- whether any of them is grafted or (hopelessly) own-root. Unless one gets-off on something approaching horticultural masochism, I can't imagine why perfectly good garden space is squandered on such dogs, or why good money is spent on them. Let's face it -- nobody grows them REALLY well in a garden setting. The unwitting Michigoose can pride her/himself in having dropped only 99 cents at Spring Hill. |

Posted by mrsorchdork Black Forest Cake is my absolute favorite, but I couldn't find a cake shop in town that made it to my liking and still sold it at a reasonable price. I'm not big on making cakes from scratch. I make my icing from scratch, and it is usually good enough that people don't care that the cake is from a box. My husband is happy with cakes with frosting from a can and doesn't really like fancy cakes such as the Black Forest Cake. He really liked this recipe, though, so I think it's good enough to share.

Hello! Although I don't get here as often as I'd like, it is the FIRST place I come when I need a clever craft project, poem, or idea. :-) I am directing a Girl Scout Day Camp with a Fairy Tale theme in about a week. I always get small gifts for the adults who help, since they are all volunteers. I found some pens at the dollar store with crowns on the top of them. I also got some cheap photo albums with a space for a picture in front. I'm going to "bling them up" with some rhinestones that I've ordered and will take a picture of each group to put in the front. (Each leader will get a picture of her group.) I purchased a can of peas for each adult with the intent that I would call them "Princess and the Peas" gift bags. I was wondering if anyone could come up with a cute poem that I can use to attach to each bag. I would soooo appreciate it! I'm just not good at poetry and I've seen so many cute ones here that people have written.
TIA-Beada |

On my honor, I do confess Girl scout helpers are the best You're always there, never let us down I'd like to present you with this crown. A little token, from my heart For being there, right from the start So when you write or jot it down Think of us when you see this crown hope it helps |
You SEE why I come here first? That is a great poem, kattydid! I'd like to give you credit for authoring it. If you'd like to have me use your name, you can e-mail it to me at email@example.com. Thanks so much! I absolutely love it! :-) Beada |

That was awesome and cute ideas. As a former girl scout and leader I really miss those days so I recently volunteered to lead singing for a group. I can still get up and down with the best of them!!1 Deanna |

Square Enix has released the first episode in a new Tomb Raider video series dubbed 'Guide to Survival', which explores the decisions a young Lara faces as she's forced to hold her own on a hostile island.
Square says: "Though she doesn't begin as a fully accomplished heroine she's smart, resourceful and full of potential: you'll see Lara using the Basecamp System to upgrade her skills and gear, see how she uses her Survival Instinct to explore on the island, and get an insight into her signature weapon, the bow."
Once you've watched the movie, why not check out our recent Tomb Raider preview, in which we give our impressions of our time with the first two hours of Crystal Dynamics' upcoming adventure.

What is the biggest, blackest, clumping elephant ear and where can I get them? I don't plan to plant them till the spring; I was just thinking about it now and thought I'd ask.
Thanks! Lynn Marie |
Follow-Up Postings:
I think what you are looking for is Giant Black Taro. Many Taro are black and they can grow in water gardens, bogs or in soil. The ones planted in soil still have very high water needs though and will die if they dry out. The thing about them is that they are fairly tender perinneals and depending on the conditions where you plant it you might need to take it up and store it over the winter. I have actually seen them in some of the big box stores in the DFW metro area. Cheryl |
- Posted by lynnmariep86 8 DFW (My Page) on Wed, Nov 10, 10 at 16:43
Thanks, Cheryl. I'll keep a look out for them. I have some regular sized black ones, and plan on putting big ones in the same bed. It is a well protected and well mulched area, and all the different kinds of EEs came back this summer after last winter, so I want to try to leave them there all year. I'm a gambler! |
